i know T-mobile has planned an announcement in January about something that's going to (no doubt) start carrier fight between AT&T, Verizon and Sprint,..and i think i know what that thing is. but we'll get to that in a minute.
needless to say, t-mobile may not have the best service, or the highest customer appreciation, however....this company must hold some importance to inspire other higher ranked companies to follow suite.
Now, T-mobile has another announcement. and as a predicted earlier on facebook, i believe that this announcement is "T-Mobile has done away with contracts all together"
yes i do believe that T-mobile is going to abandon the 2year/1year contract option, and allow customers to take the "metro pcs" approach and purchase phones at either full retail price OR allow everyone to join the early upgrade gravy train regardless of credit reputation.
either way, its a big step and if the past is any indication, the other companies will simply come up with their own counter-announcements to attempt to satisfy customers.
because in the end, its the customers complaining that influences the flow of the moblie phone industry. think about it. if more people complain...especially via social media, people read this, and these people are slightly influenced by such reviews.
Sprint, for example, my current carrier choice, and a pretty bad one at that. service is horrible and the prices are the same as the other companies. but, being the impulsive person i am, i saw a deal and went for it or as i like to call it.....i got suckered. anyway, i take every opportunity i can (via social media) to ward my friends and followers away from Sprint, and in doing so most of the people around me have decided against joining one of the slowest networks in America today.
whoa...I'm ranting....
back to t-mobile...
....and since I've already ragged on sprint...i may as well talk about my other suspicions...
Rumor has it that Sprint plans on making a bid to Buy (join) T-Mobile.
What do i think?
You are asking me?
...........
i think its a great idea.
nothing pleases me more than seeing companies competing alongside each other rather than competing against one another.
.....now of course when companies compete against each other, the customers wins...but in this case i believe that the customer is going to come out on top anyway.
I mean it is sprint and t-mobile we are talking about here....ranked number 3 and 4...in the top carrier chart.
........and with T-mobile's recent acquisition of Metro Pcs and their freakishly somewhat reliable network, i believe that this is the perfect time for sprint to acquire T-Mobile and gain some more ground in the war to get to the top!
Plus, a purchase like this would threaten AT&T and Verizon to become more innovative in their pricing and services.
but i don't know for sure about any of these rumors. I'm just a tech reporter....not a psychic....or a prophet....
my question to you is.....
if sprint did purchase t-mobile....
you know they would have some awesome deals, with a smaller amount of strings attached...
would you switch....
would you stay where you are....
keep with the 2 year contracts (if all available?) ?
and with that ill take my leave!
